Football Senior Bowl 2011


The Mobile Under Armour Senior Bowl will be played this Saturday January 29th at Ladd-Peebles Stadium. Kick off is slated for 3pm central standard time on the NFL Network.

The South Team will feature 22 players from the SEC, including Arkansas's Mackey Award Winner D.J. Williams. Missing from the SEC stars are guys like Cam Newton who don't need the Senior Bowl to increase their stock in the upcoming NFL Draft, but there will be stars a plenty from all of your favorite SEC Teams.

As a Boise State fan I am really excited to see two Broncos in the Senior Bowl, I think this is the best we have ever done, placing two in the game. The WAC has five players representing the conference and the Broncos are represented by the two best receivers in Boise State history, Titus Young and Austin Pettis. Also representing the North Team will be an Big Twelve Backfield with four 1,000 yard rushers like Kansas State's Daniel Thomas, from Oklahoma State Kendall Hunter.

Each team is coached by a NFL Team coaching staff. This year the North will be coached by the Cincinnati Bengals Staff and the South by the Buffalo Bills staff.

Each year the Senior Bowl has what they call the Senior Bowl Super Star competition and the winner gets to sing the National Anthem at the game and on the NFL television Network. This years winner hails from Spanish Fort, Alabama and is junior at Spanish Fort High School. Congrats to 17 yr old Rebecca Womack.

Anyhow this years Senior Bowl is laden with talent and future NFL stars and I for one look forward to watching the NFL stars of tomorrow play this Saturday at 3pm Central Time on the NFL Network.
